A. Our 3 Assumptions-
1) Science and religion directly conflict with one another.
2) Technology improves quality of life.
3) The extent to which technology allows us to communicate has provided many benefits, however, it has destroyed our sense of privacy.

1B. Cultural and Personal aspects - My grandparents do not like the idea that I was taught evolution or the big bang theory in school.
1C. Can a scientist hold religious beliefs?
2B. Personal- I just got internet at my new house today! Now I can do my homework at home instead of having to go out to complete it.
2C. How do we associate "easyness" with our quality of life? Should "easyness" be the only thing we determine the quality of life from? Why?
3B. Social and Personal aspects- There's no excuse for ignoring people's phone calls anymore, today they can find you at home, on the go, by beeper, by text,they can leave you a voice mail ,a text message and now even an email wherever you are. It's brutal.
3C. How has the government used technology to destroy our sense of privacy?
Cesar says...
1b)Personally, I do not believe religion and science to necessarily conflict. While tracks all the way back to the big bang theory it still does have no reason for the initial explosion. I believe science just shows us how God did it.
1c) How come most churches have deliberately tried to get evolution out of schools and disproved while most scientists have not tried to do the same for religion?
2b)The internet can answer almost any question I have from, how to fix thing, how to build things, definitions of word I don't know and so many others. I would have to go through a lot more work without it.
2c)Basic example, technology makes it so we don't have to rub two pieces of wood together to make fire.
3b)The Patriot Act... without communication technology it would have been useless.
3c) Is a cellphone a communication tool or a tracking device?
I am a proud believer in the religion form of things, which means for me evolution does not exist. Therefore for me I don't think that science and religion conflict with one another. Science is the every day struggles that one has to go through. It has improved much due to man's intelligence and knowledge that they acquire through God. To achieve this I know it took a lot of studying and time. Religion on the other hand was given to us whether we choose to partake of it or not. Whichever way we choose there shouldn't be any direct conflict with one another. I do believe that they can both work together for the benefit of mankind. Jacqui <>CB
1B)I attended catholic school for a few years growing up and we never learned about the big bang theory, we learned that the world was created by god.
1C)Can a deeply religious person think scientifically and will he or she be frowned upon in the religious community for his or her views.
2b) I got lost driving home the other night and i turned on my GPS and it got me home in no time. I didn't have to stop at a random gas station and ask someone for directions that could turn out to be wrong.
2C) Do things like turn by turn directions make us lazy or less intelligent?
3B)Today technology has a choke hold on society we are dependent on thing like cell phones PDA's and laptop computers. We never leave our house with out our cell phones you can always get a hold of someone and they can always reach you. the phone never stops ringing though out the day.
3C) Has facebook ruined your relationship lately? couples are always fighting about facebook. what did people argue about before it was invented?
2C) I don't really think that turn by turn directions does make us any less intelligent. In a way it is like stopping to ask someone for directions without actually having to step out of your car. Not knowing your way around a certain area doesn't necessarily make you dumb but I do think that turn by turn directions can be making us lazy. I mean it all depends because you can get lost somewhere ask someone for directions and they might not be able to help you. I really think its more useful than negative.
3C) For anyone who has read 1984 im sure youll agree with me when i say that this statement is frighteningly true, and more than most people care to recognize. these days tvs can be converted into windows into the homes of unsuspecting families and its true that peeping toms and the like have waaay more advanced ways of spying than looking down from vents. its unnerving to think about but its definetly true that technology has slowly been taking away privacy.
1) I do not beleive that science and religion directly conflict one another. I went to a Catholic high school where I was taught about the Big Bang Theory and evolution. I feel that religion has actually benefitted from science. Instead of worshipping and believing in literal interpretations of religious texts, people are now able to focus on the underlying meaning to the religious stories they were taught growing up. Religion should not try to explain the world. Religion should try to help people understand the right way to navigate through their own lives. Science explores fields such as medicine,evolution, and astronomy. Science does not have anything to do with morality, ethics,and compassion. Science and religion are two seperate entities that both have their own impact on society. A person does not have to reject one and accept the other. Science and religion can coexist.
